When we talk about the vulnerable group of people in our society, what comes to our mind? It is the Older and the very younger generation, that comes to our mind. But there are others also. Anyone who is not in a stable state of mind to make conscious decisions will fall in this category. And then it becomes the responsibility of those in the balanced state of mind to take care of them.
Yesterday a lady reached out to me, to discuss about the issues that she is currently facing with her 11 years old niece. She feels that something is wrong with her, as the little girl has been showing some very weird behavior. In the recent times the little girl has become very rebellious and she behaves very unreasonably. She refuses to listen to anything that anyone tells her. When she started her conversation with me, she mentioned that her niece has become extremely rude and she is not able to understand what the problem is.
While digging deeper into the behavior of her parents and other family members with the little girl, I got to understand that her parents are very strict with her and at times also hit her. There is very little affection that is shown towards her. The other behavior that this little girl shows is that she has started behaving badly with her younger sister.
Personally I feel that this young girl needs a lot of help and care. Somewhere she has started feeling isolated, and she feels angered by the elder’s behavior with her and because she is young and she cannot retaliate with the elders she removes her frustration on her younger sister.
When anyone of this vulnerable group displays any different behavior then normal, then we need to understand that there is a problem with them rather than trying to find faults with them. If there is no problem then why would they behave differently or irrationally? Vulnerable people find it difficult to express and when that happens they want to release it in some way, which would result into something which is not normal for us. And the way to handle them is with love and care. They need to gain our confidence for them to open up and discuss their problems and share with us what is going on in their mind.
In the case of this little girl, I see that there can be issues of any nature. It can be her parent’s behavior, it can be her starting menstrual cycle hormonal changes or it can also be something graver where someone has abused her in any way, or it can be a peer group influence. Problem can be anything and nothing can be discounted. But whatever it is, needs to be addressed and not ignored by just finding faults with her.
As of now I asked her to bring her niece to my home and I can try talking with her. Hopefully if she can open up and tell me what her problem is or that what is going on in her mind? She surely needs help, love, care and above all understanding.
